Overview

  • Coach Kevin Stefanski said Jones will undergo knee surgery and miss the rest of 2025 after being injured on the fourth play against Green Bay.
  • Cleveland will submit the play for NFL review after Packers safety Javon Bullard dove low, with Stefanski citing rules on blocks below the waist outside the tight end box.
  • KT Leveston replaced Jones at right tackle and Cornelius Lucas held left tackle, with the staff set to sort through offensive line options this week.
  • Right tackle Jack Conklin remains day-to-day with an elbow issue, compounding depth concerns for a 1-2 team preparing for the Lions in Week 4.
  • This is Jones’ third consecutive season ending on injured reserve, a trend that has observers questioning his availability and near-term extension prospects.
